Hi all,
Back in college (15+ years YIKES!), I used to have a 75 1.8 L. A fellow 914 friend of mine at the time used to refer to it as a 1.8 L boat anchor. Anyway now that I am interested in getting a 914 again I would like to know just how big a difference there is between the 2.0 and the 1.7 and 1.8. I am aware of the HP specs for each engine size and what not, but since I never got to ride in a 2.0 I don't know how big a difference those extra HP actually make. Any input would be appreciated in helping me make a decision on just how much influence engine size should play on my 914 shopping. By the way this is a great web site, just wish it was around when I had my first one. I probably would have never got rid of it! Thanks Bert |
